I’ve become a big fan of the {logspline} package over the past ~6 months and decided to wrap up a manual ggplot2 plotting process (well, it was at least in an RStudio snippet) into a small {ggplot2} Stat to make it easier to visualize various components of the fitted model. If you’re new to logspline… Continue reading
I mentioned EtherCalc in a previous post and managed to scrounge some time to put together a fledgling {ethercalc} package (it’s also on GitLab, SourceHut, Bitbucket and GitUgh, just sub out the appropriate URL prefix). I’m creating a package-specific Docker image (there are a couple out there but I’m not supporting their use with the… Continue reading

I did another twitter thread on the aforeblogged MowerPlus database as I explored the tables after a second mow to determine what identified a unique mowing “session” (using John Deere’s terms). This is the thread: As forewarned, today was the second mow with the new @JohnDeere mower. I'll thread the exploration of what the db… Continue reading
I was pretty brutal to Apple earlier this week in a Twitter thread that I tried to craft so it occurred in-line with the WWDC live stream (which might be something you want to remember as/if you read on). I really don’t care about “memojis” and I have serious dismay over what is a pretty… Continue reading
A user of the {ggalt} package recently posted a question about how to add points to a geom_dumbbell() plot. For now, this is not something you can do with geom_dumbbell() but with a bit of data wrangling you can do this in a pretty straightforward manner with just your data and ggplot2. The example below… Continue reading
In a recent previous post I brazenly talked over the “hard parts” of how I got to the target SQLite file that houses “mowing history” for what has become my weekend obsession. So, we’ll cover just how to do that (find things in iOS backups) in this post along with how to deal with some… Continue reading
For the first time ever we got a new riding mower this weekend. We’ve always haggled to keep the one sellers were using with any given house we’ve purchased over the years (that was big enough for a yard that “requires” a riding mower). We ended up getting a model from John Deere and the… Continue reading
